Brilliant! Simple and easy to follow... now I want Belgian waffles. Track diorama instructions were also brilliant. My desire to get track structure built needs a kick in the caboose. I love everything you guys and gals do. John
Seriously, thanks for putting this out. I need to make myself a diorama to take photos of models outside, and this is all of the reminder I need that it’s really not that difficult.
This made my day! Thanks guys! I think I may need to get a bunch of this and I don't even have my own model railroad yet. Just a metric tonne of flexiflo hoppers, a few fancy Amtrak baggage cars, a couple of B36-7s, all Rapido made of course. Oh and a few hundred cars and about a hundredish other Conrail and CSX locos. And a pile of unbuilt kits and unfinished models. Lol.
Entertaining video. I’ve used both the main line and branch line versions with good success. I tried to find a product review before buying it but based on the price, I took a chance. My only comments are two fold: The product comes in strips as opposed to a continuous length and it does not have a centerline seam or marking that would be useful when laying on curves as the product needs to be cut to lay on curves. There were also no instructions with the product.Not that laying roadbed is challenging, but it would have been nice to hear from Rapido on the methods they recommend to install their product especially on curves. Also, their instructions are usually humorous and enjoyable to read. Overall, it is a great product and the branch line version is a nice addition to the market.
Thanks for your insightful comments, and I'm glad that you enjoyed the product. It really was an off-the-cuff product. Jason was getting neoprene sheet for his layout so we decided to tack on a roadbed order. Once our current stock is gone, it's gone. Our supplier shut down.
I opened Facebook earlier this evening, and the first posts I saw were of Jason's new Brockville station. This made me want a laser cutter. I opened RUclips to distract myself.... and now I want Belgian waffles to go with a laser cutter. "Jeremy made me hungry" is apparently not the correct answer to give my wife when I'm making a mess in the kitchen at 8pm.
Hi Jeremy, I don't know what Jason is paying you, but it's probably not enough. I hope he's making up for it by giving you free train stuff. This video was not only educational, it was also very entertaining. I love the Belgian Waffles recipe included at the end of the video, you can't see me now, (or can you?) but I'm standing on my chair clapping, Bravo Jeremy, Bravo. By the way, is this "Killer" roadbed available in "N" scale? Cheers, Rich S.
I'm curious about 5 things: 1. Sound deadening compared to cork; 2. Curvability; 3. Price compared to cork (which has been climbing); 4. Potential availability of sheets for turnouts and yards; and 5. Where were you with this stuff when I was laying my track 14 years ago?
1. Much better than just cork. 2. As-is, you need very broad curves. You need to slice it down the centre for tighter curves. 3. It's more expensive. 4. None - you can buy neoprene sheet much more cheaply from any rubber supplier. 5. Sorry! Actually once we sell out of our current stock, it's gone. We have a lot - but our supplier went out of business.
Ya Ya Cool.. But how about some Road Bed for us N Scale Guys.. our Trains need some Quit too & and that Model Train Dude you build layouts for living that was some excellent Work.!
I have wondered if anyone in the model railroad industry has ever hired a sound engineer for the problem of track noise. I have Lionel O gauge trains and on my previous layout I built a yard with Lionel Fastrak and it is loud enough to wake up the dead. I sold it all 3-4 years ago returning to Gargraves and Menards tubular.
Would love to buy some but your website only says "See Your Dealer" and I don't have any dealer's within a day's drive of me. Are you guy's going to be selling on your website again?
Speaking of Airbrushing and Proto Paint, could you guys make a tutorial on how to use proto paint. That would make a good video. I'm having decent results, but could do better.
Time to resurrect this video. I'm building a 19'+ shelf in my office at work to display my 20-car war-time Daylight. I'm modeling the section of track immediately east of tunnel 11 for about 1700'. My office walls just so happen to match the curve, which is a 75" radius (real-world). So, to the point of my story, do you think I can do about a 45⁰ curve on a 75" radius without cutting? I'm going to get it regardless, but I am just curious.
Thanks for another entertaining video, Jeremy. Nice demonstration of basic track-laying skills. But I must confess: I was somehow expecting an actual demonstration of the alleged Noise Killing properties...maybe a torture test comparison with ye olde Homasote, or cork, or some brand X competitor. Oh well, says it on the box, so it must be true!
Hello? It's the 1970's calling...they want their scenery techniques back. Why don't you make some puff ball trees to go alongside that track while you're at it. Seriously, does nobody at Rapido own a static grass applicator? ;) Entertaining ad, as usual.
You forget something! A test without this product an with this product. Isn't it true that if you glue everything together to 1 block, you destroy the effect of your product?
@@rapidotrains They are sold out. I did not know I could get them there. And if the truth be told. There is a person there that made my experience buying from them over the years that I have a hard time working with them. And there are a few of my friends here and in Texas that feel the same way. Well I will just have to wait until another one or three comes by. Thanks for your help.

"It's okay to get some on the ballast because Nature". love the sense of humour you all have.
Thanks!
I wish all model railroad manufacturers did videos like these, dry humor and to the point. Nice job Rapido
Thanks for the support! 👍
Recipe for Belgian Waffles as the credits.
This is why people love Rapido, other than the great models of course.
Thanks for that!
the comedy here has absolutely no right being this good.
👍🏼

Absolutely!
Definitely buying the noise killer roadbed. I wanna use the regular height one for my mainline and the shorter one for my yards and sidings.
Still have lots!
LOL at 3:36! I love videos with Jeremy in them! I love the humor. He makes great videos too.
Yes he makes the best Rapido videos!

Jeremy is a star in the making. So make him the star of the Rapido show!
Ya he’s way better than those other hosers!
@@rapidotrains and more likeable too!
Excellent balance of humour and useful information. Jeremy's best video to date. The recipe was a nice touch.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The acting is better than most other videos.
Jeremy is the only good actor. The other guys are terrible.
Love the end and credits! Waffles sound good! Gotta get that maple syrup! Mmm!👍
👍
Give the man a raise
He certainly deserves one!
You gotta love those Jeremy videos
He does great work!

Really, there’s too many weird things going on here. (Scientician ?) Fun, instructive and inspiring. The highlight of my day!

Awesome video. You guys always win for the best and funniest videos. Well done. 😷🤠😷🤠🚂🚂
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome tips for a beginner like myself and a little humour to boot. Thanks !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is the way
I have spoken.
Wow thanks for a excellent track laying tutorial. Your video are so cool!
Glad you like it!
Hi guys! Love your work, can wait for Caltrain stuff and Amtrak California Cars!
Maybe one day!
@@rapidotrains hopefully

Hey 10 bucks is 10 bucks eh?
The branchline road bed is a bit smaller than the mainline and could also be used for N scale.
Hey wait! I bought a box and there was no surprise inside... very funny
Dig deeper!
4:15 love the nuclear silo hazmat suit look! :b
We’re curious why he has it in the first place! 😂
I'm curious about 5 things:
1. Sound deadening compared to cork;
2. Curvability;
3. Price compared to cork (which has been climbing);
4. Potential availability of sheets for turnouts and yards; and

That’s all well and good for straight track. How do you manage 22 inch radius curves with your product? Looking forward to your demonstration!
You slice it down the middle and lay it like cork. Shouldn't be an issue.
Thx again
👍
Virgin foam roadbed vs Chad building track straight onto the wood so the whole house can hear the flanges on your 86 metal wheels
I tried foam once for a section of layout once, and went right back to homeasote
It's an acquired taste!
With regards to the Buttermilk Pancake recipe, is there any change to the cooking instructions if I add blueberries to the recipe?
Should be no change. Hope you enjoy them!
i love waffles and trains!
It's a great combination!
Ya Ya Cool.. But how about some Road Bed for us N Scale Guys.. our Trains need some Quit too & and that Model Train Dude you build layouts for living that was some excellent Work.!

Love the video! Now to go and purchase some of this product!
Great!

It's the eternal problem. Even N scale can be loud!
Love the intro
Thanks!
... in ubiquitous hunter green, this is the way.
This is the way.
When you know...you know!
Can you guys make business cars in CN and CP to be private cars on via rail trains
We’ll consider it for the future!
Thank you for a very informative video. Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great video, Jeremy!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
Nice!
Thanks!
Loved the video, and second all the positive comments, just one thing-can you do a sequel with a train running on it?
For sure, we'll look into it!
Looks good. I'll have to give it a try.
Awesome!
Would love to buy some but your website only says "See Your Dealer" and I don't have any dealer's within a day's drive of me. Are you guy's going to be selling on your website again?
We have top men working on this very idea. TOP. MEN.
How is he behind and in front of the camera? Does he have a split personality? Or maybe he achieved warp 10.
It's magic! 😂
And don't forget to put a stocking over the vacuum hose to save loose ballast
Smart!
Speaking of Airbrushing and Proto Paint, could you guys make a tutorial on how to use proto paint. That would make a good video. I'm having decent results, but could do better.
Great suggestion!
Wait your suppose to use track??? I've always removed the gears of my 300 dollar model trains and push them around on the floor lol
Well that’s one way to do it! 😂
@@rapidotrains lol
WAIT YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT??!! WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME?
Okay did a certain snack food company reach out yet about your box design?
Not yet! 😁
Liked video 👍
Thank you 👍

Come for the roadbed, stay for the Belgian waffles
It’s all about the waffles!

Yeah we probably should have done that... 🤦🏻♂️
Yeah, that's what I was expecting too.
Hahaha. Covering up the product label just like on Blue Peter. A recipe too. They were John Noakes department. :-)
👍
Question, How does this product compare to Woodland scenic's Track-bed system which has been around for years, is this product quieter or similar?
Very similar, but a more realistic ballast profile in our view.

We said the same thing about Jason's 1970s pants! 😂
Ken Daneyko works for Rapido!
Separated at birth.
whats the news on the new look buses
In production at the moment.
muchas gracias por el video abrazo grande
👍
He said thank you very much for the big hug video
If you guys do dash 9s could you do one in the BCOL scheme?
No plans at this time for a Dash-9 from us, but other manufacturers might release them in the future.
Will the roadbed deaden the sound of my containers scraping over the track?
Only one way to find out! 😂
You forget something!
A test without this product an with this product.
Isn't it true that if you glue everything together to 1 block, you destroy the effect of your product?
You're right - we should have thought of that.... 🤦🏻♂️
This is the way. 🥰😆😅
🤣
I recommend creating a series of trains more affordable to young model railroaders like me. It would be great!
We tried this a few years back but sales were somewhat disappointing. Anything is possible though!
Nah fam I mount the rails right to the wood. Maximum sound!
Maximum vibrations!
Oh and the N scale GMD1s. I did not see the Montana Rail link? There is a photo of one? But I did not see that I can buy them.
Those are the Southern Railway of BC units which were an exclusive for Pacific Western Rail Systems. They may still have them in stock.
@@rapidotrains They are sold out. I did not know I could get them there. And if the truth be told.

N Scale version of the noise killer roadbed please fellow N Scaler BTW
Cut it in half and you'll get twice as much!
Is there Rapido Noise Killer Roadbed in N scale? I am looking for something other than Cork to use.
Our “Branchline“ roadbed is smaller and may work well in N scale!
@@rapidotrains It well still need to be cut do to width for N scale I presume?
Impressive! I couldn't hear any noise!
👍
SCIENTICIANS!!!
👍🏼
and does it come in n-scale??? Had to ask.
The “Branchline” version of the roadbed is smaller and should work in N scale!
Hmmmm....waffles...😍
Can’t go wrong with waffles! 😂 🧇
Nice rotary phone lol
Only the best!
I work for a phone company, and I am pretty sure I have seen that phone's brother lurking in a corner of our central office.
N scale?
The "Branchline" size would work for N scale.
I’m gonna guess this is $60? I just want something I can afford-please?
(Edit) HOLY MOLY ITS 9 DOLLARS TOME TO WHIP OIT THE CREDIT CARD
Lmao
🤣
So you spend a fortune on locomotives with SOUND then buy sound deadening roadbed?
One of life's conundrums!
I got syrup all over my outdated cork.
😂
Looks like a box of cracker jacks.
Yep!
Interesting
👍🏼
hi
Hello!
And then when you add ballast you get your noise back.
No, there is a difference. Ballast and glue does increase noise, but it is lower than without foam roadbed.
Hilarious
Thanks!
N Scale! N Scale! N Scale!
You could use the "Branchline" size!
I need to buy a waffle iron...
We all do now! 😂
this is the way
and love the prairie shadows PSC caboose at the end...
and where's my n scale RDC cn phase 1 with sound, still waiting on it's delivery...
Maybe one day!
@@rapidotrains not maybe, but soon :))) and don’t forget, I need to replace all my 20 worn through rapido t-shirts in the next 6 months also
